Guest EXPAT Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/04/joe-bastianich-restaurant-man-book-excerpt-mario-batali-stoned-babbo Here is an excerpt from this book, "Restaurant Man". He was on "The Today Show" today talking about how tipping really gets you what you want in restaurants. I think it's all about ego frankly. But I found his ego appealing and he really believes that the world revolves around your seating location in a restaurant. All the more power to him. . . Quote
Guest FourAces Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I love him on Master Chef. His reactions are priceless. And yes he is one of these guys who happens to have an appealing ego. Its kind of understated that might be why. I didn't know he had a book though I might check it out. Thanks EXPAT. Quote
